YOU SUNK MY BATTLEFIELDS!

BATTLEFIELDS ON TOUR!



Hailing from the depths of Minnesota and Fargo-North Dakota, BATTLEFIELDS have been touring relentlessly for the last three years and accruing massive accolades for their brutally honest music and astounding live performances. BATTLEFIELDS have stepped up to the plate and created an instant classic in Thresholds of Imbalance that encompasses a new direction in extreme and epic mind-expansive music. Recorded at The Devil's Workshop in Minnesota and mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance Audio, Thresholds of Imbalance is an essential release for fans of Mastodon, Katatonia, Torche, Khanate, Pelican, Creation is Crucifixion and Tool.

BATTLEFIELDS are currently preparing for more than a month's worth of US tour dates with Irepress. The tour will kick off on March 6th at The Factory in Rochester, MI and wind down April 9th at Washington Street Art Gallery in Vermillion, SD.

“Battlefields segues between gnashing metal and layers of lo-fi atmosphere. With the addition of tasteful samples and puncturing screams, it’s undeniable that Battlefields are headed in an impressive direction.” - Decibel Magazine



"The missing link between ISIS and CONVERGE, their brutal hardcore-infused-doom metal is as head-explodingly heavy and visceral as it is soothing and cerebral." - MetalInjection.net



"With nods toward the stratified ambience of Red Sparowes and the hellacious mathiness of Converge, Minnesota's Battlefields straddles dreaminess and despair with equally vicious grace" - The Onion
